The BLOGATHON Continues…

Share article:

Guest blogged by Winter Patriot

The First Annual BRAD BLOGATHON began late Friday afternoon and was scheduled to end Monday evening. As combined blogging extravaganza and fundraiser, it has been a mixed success … so far!

The blogging has been wonderful; we have enjoyed the online company of very distinguished patriots, some of whose words appear here only rarely. Unfortunately, our fundraising efforts have been less effective than we had hoped. Therefore we have no choice but to continue the BLOGATHON.

As regular readers of this space already know, Brad’s blogging permissions have been revoked, and of course we all hope this situation will prove to be temporary.

You can help Brad regain his blogging rights! Please click HERE to donate via Credit Card or PayPal … or … click HERE to donate via Snail Mail.

We regret any inconvenience caused by the extension of the BRAD BLOGATHON. While you’re waiting for normal service to resume, please enjoy The Dream Of Unlimited Swag: The Klepto-Plutocracy At War by Chris Floyd.

This item is part of the First Annual BRAD BLOGATHON, conceived and implemented by readers of The BRAD BLOG! Please help keep Brad blogging. You can click HERE to donate using PayPal or your credit card, or click HERE to donate using snail mail. Many thanks on behalf of Brad and the Bloggers behind the Blogathon!

    WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO FREE SPEECH?
    It turned out that it wasn’t FREE after all!

    How you have missed this I don’t know either, Catherine, but here’s the story:

    Brad can’t blog because of the BLOGATHON, in support of which Brad gave his blog-keys to a handful of loyal readers and fellow bloggers who took over his blog on Friday afternoon, and who have spent literally every hour since then trying to raise some money for him … and for his blog, and for his radio show.

    Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we have yet not raised very much money … and we’re not going to give his keys back to him until we raise some more.

    We are hoping to keep his radio show on the air for the rest of the summer — is that unreasonable? We don’t think so. But we need your help.

    YOU WANT BRAD BACK?? Great!! So do we!! We’re doing the best we can … but ONLY YOU CAN BRING HIM BACK!
